This little blog has grown into more than just a website ... it’s become a kind of gathering place. Part shed out the back, part country pub, part well-worn knitting circle. Some of us rattle on like old mates leaning on a shovel, others quietly stitch their thoughts into the chat ... but all of us come here for the same thing: a bit of peace, a bit of fun, and good company.
Most of us are what you’d call Shed Shakers - people who’ve been around the block and found comfort in a certain way of seeing the world.
This space works best when the rhythm is relaxed and the threads don’t tangle. This blog is a soft place to land each day. That means the tone matters.
Have a listen to the needles clicking before you try stitching a whole new pattern.
1. NEVER disrespect poster Redhead. 2. Never post anything that your mother would not approve. 3. Never post anything that could get Monty into trouble. 4. Never post anything that could get you into trouble
I think that''s it.
